Living on campus made life a whole lot easier. From walking to the strip and across campus and being there within 10 minutes. Not a worry in the world with who would be responsible for driving and parking their car in a sketchy parking lot across from Publix.

Uber the rideshare application that was founded in 2009 in San Francisco, California. Also, the application that is basically in every city or town except Tuscaloosa. Lucky for us we just got Uber to launch in Tuscaloosa.

Uber has changed college for the better. With this application being easy and free to download on your smartphone there is no better way to get around town at any hour of the day.

First off, it is way safer to be getting in a car with a driver rather than risking your life getting in the backseat or even worse driving yourself home after a night of being out at the bars.

Next, the prices are pretty reasonable. I don't know about you but I love being able to see the exact amount you will be paying before you even step foot in the car. There are no scams and your credit card that is on your account will not be charged until after your ride. Plus, you don't need to be searching for cash as you arrive at your destination since there is now an option to leave a tip for your driver on the app.

The only hard part with Uber just now becoming a bigger deal in T-Town is that there is such a high demand for drivers at the main prime times that not everyone can get to their destination precisely on time.

From my personal experience, there is no better way to get to campus on a game day other than requesting an uber from your apartment or house a few hours early and not having to worry about if your car will be towed or ticketed by the time you get to it after the football game.

While we have other ways to get around town these days such as JoyRide and Lyft as well, Uber has become one of the most popular services to use.
